\d A psalm written by David when he was fleeing from his son Absalom
|
|
\v 1 Yahweh, I have many enemies!
|
|
\q2 There are many people who oppose me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Many people are saying about me,
|
|
\q2 "God will certainly not help him."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 3 But Yahweh, you are like a shield that protects me.
|
|
\q1 You greatly honor me, and you encourage me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 I cry out to you, Yahweh,
|
|
\q2 and you answer me from Zion, your sacred hill.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 At night I lay down and slept, and I woke up in the morning
|
|
\q2 because you, Yahweh, took care of me all during the night.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 There may be thousands of enemy soldiers who surround me,
|
|
\q2 but I am not afraid.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 Yahweh, arise!
|
|
\q2 My God, come and rescue me again!
|
|
\q1 You will insult my enemies by slapping them on their cheeks;
|
|
\q2 when you strike them, you will destroy their power,
|
|
\q2 with the result that they cannot hurt anyone.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Yahweh, you are the one who saves your people from their enemies.
|
|
\q2 Yahweh, bless your people!
